The plot of the story is simple: Valerie,
living with her uncle in the country, be-
comes engaged to Louis Charters, a
young man without money, expectations,
or prospects of future success. Being
out one day, in severe shower, she was
met by handsome cavalier, Max Beau
regard, a captain in the army, who gal
lantly took her on his horse and carried
her to the residence of his Colonel's wife.
1t was a case of love at first sight, but
Captain Beauregard was ordered to Afri.
ca and Valerie was taken to London by
worldly-minded aunt, who brought her
out, and Valerie soon became the belle Of
the day. A sutton, in the person of AS
ton Lawford, rich and vulgar, appears
on the scene; and Valerie, having mean
while given Louis Charters his congo,
tacitly accepts the attention of Lawford,
fearing to reveal her love for Beauregard,
who is a younger son, and therefore not
eligible in the eyes of her aunt. Beau
regard returns from the wars, having
been promoted for gallant and meritori-
Gus services in the field, and becomes a
popular hero.

The plot of the story hinges on the re-
ceipt, by Valerie, of letter from Aston
Lawford, asking her hand in marriage.
Valerie, without the knowledge of her
aunt, returns a decided refusal. Within
an hour news is received of the death of
Colonel Beauregard's elder brother, the
former thus becoming peer and owner
of vast possessions. The tongue of envy
and malice at one proclaimed that Law.
ford was rejected because Beauregard
was now more eligible.

Those were golden words which Char
lotte CushmaD once addressed to the
friend OF lady who desired to go on
the stage: "Tell her for me, that IL
she is going to try that work simply be-
cause she can think of nothing else to
do, she will never succeed. But II it is
the one thing above all others that she
desires to do. and that she will do with
her whole soul, she may try" The
teacher who enters the school-room for
no higher motive than self support. and
who can feel no enthusiasm for its la
bors, may well take these words 10
heart, success that Is only tolerable is
next to intolerable. Not even the
drudgery of the profession can be prop
erly performed by unwilling hands,
while its higher demands can only be
met in the spirit Of devoted self-sacrir
fice. Only q patient and stout hearted
learner can ever become an especially
successful teacher. - She5nlerhoym's

W. c. I. U. COLUMN.
Outlawed--A Query as to Where Is the
sSEest Place for the SaIOOn.0

Pittsburg Commercial Gazette.
Mr.. Cornelius Vanderbilt, the ablest
as well as the wealthiest of the sons of
the late millionaire, Commodore Van
derbilt, recently expressed a desire to
see the sale of Intoxicating liquors pro-
hibited within an eighth of mile of any
railroad station. This is the wish and
judgement OF the owner Of a vast
amount Of railway property, who has
seen the danger and felt the evil effects
OF intoxication among trainmen and
passengers. One of the most dreadful
and expensive railway collisions of last
winter was attrlbutedto to drunkenness on
the part Of some of those having one of
the trains in charge, and a saloon near
railway station is constant menance
to the lives Of both trainmen and pas
sengers, leaving the destruction Of pro-
perty out of the question altogether.
There is not large manufacturing
concern In this city, or any other, that
would not be benefited rather than in
jured by having the nearest saloon so
far away that the men and boys en-
plOyed therein could not visit it during
working hours. The reason for this is
apparent to all. A half intoxicated la
borer or mechanic is not able to take
care of himself, much less the property
Of his employer. Sober men are often
the victims Of accidents resulting from
the recklessness OF stupidity OF those
who have been indulging in too much
beer or whiskey ut the saloon on the
next corner. The saloon is prohibited
in tEeaters and other places of amuse-
ment; Is Danished from agricultural
fair grounds; IS not wanted within half
mile Of any camp meeting ; is declared
a nuisance rcar a church, schoolhousA
or college; and Is, in fact, outlawed
wherever the majority Of the people,
whether in the pursuit Of business or
pleasure, want to conduct themselves
in quiet. orderly and decent manner.
Where. then is the best place 70. sa-
loon II not about the railway stations
or near the mills and factories, or even
where people seek recreation and en-
joyment, where should 1t be placed?

DAKOTA DIVISION.
Outline OF Speech bv Hon. Hugh j.
Campbell.

VhmpDcHs
Hon. Hugh j. Campbell, of Yankton,
addressed the people of DE Smet last
evening at the opera house, on the sub
ject of the division Of Dakota, and gave
special attention to the question of the
relative expense of State government
in large and small States. The Judge
is filling appointments made by the
campaign committee, going where he is
sent, and from his storehouse Of knowl-
edge upon statehood matters giving the
public the benefit of his years Of re-
search and thought upon local self-gov-
ernment.
The meeting was called to order by
John A. Owen, and V. V. Barnes chosen
as chairman.
Many facts presented by Gen. Camp
bell were new even to a well read
Kingsbury county audience. In reply
to the proposition of the anti-diyision-
lists, which is their sole stock in trade,
that it is cheaper to run one State than
two, the General showed from statistics
OF the last Federai census ana from Tue
written certihcates OF secretaries OF
